The other players listed in the chart have fewer assurances from a financial standpoint.

The San Francisco 49ers' Colt McCoy, acquired by trade from Cleveland, is still playing under the rookie contract he signed with the Browns. The guaranteed money listed for him in the chart was paid as a signing bonus in 2010.

Brady Quinn (Seattle) and Kellen Clemens (St. Louis) signed for guarantees totaling less than $100,000 combined. Clemens could face the strongest competition for the No. 2 role given that Rams coach Jeff Fisher has suggested Austin Davis could serve in the No. 2 role even with Clemens in the picture.
